even the sparrows are venturing inside the cage to feed.

the chaffinch was real busy in the shrubs catching whatever grubs came its way,

there are four Dunocks in the front garden they only feed from whatever the tits spill from the feeders the ground

Getting quite tame this crested duck, The Crested Duck is a breed descended from the mallard .
